(LEX 18) — Tuesday was Election Day for some Kentuckians.
There were three special elections happening to fill vacant seats in the state legislature.
Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams shared unofficial election results by county on his Twitter account, and also reminded people that election results are unofficial until reviewed.
I'll use this tweet to remind you that ALL ELECTION NIGHT RESULTS ARE UNOFFICIAL. Our Office will review them, advise on corrections if necessary, then provide them to the bipartisan State Board of Elections for certification.
